how many miles do you get on a full tank in your NA
I was just wondering, cuz one of my friends has an NA and he gets 250 miles on a full tank all city miles. I get about 140 miles all city on my car. So how many city miles do you get on your NA?
20-21MPG, 15 gallons, 300miles with mixed city & highway driving. 260 if I'm always on surface streets when I drive it hard. That's with a new SINGLE catalyic converter replacing the old 3 piece ones. (aka NA downpipe/partial headers)
If your mileage starts slipping excessively.
1) Check that your sparkplugs aren't excessively coated in carbon / clean them (every 15K miles)
2) Tuneup including plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter
3) Make sure your catalytic converter's are not clogged, replace with 1 high performance converter.
4) Have fuel injectors rebuilt, cleaned, & blueprinted
5) check hot engine compression (requires rotary specific compression tester that supply 6 different numbers - the mazda dealership can check this for you)
6) check the fuel strainer in the fuel tank (drain the tank first)
This assumes you don't have vacuum leaks or check engine lights. If you've got leaks between the MAF (mass airflow sensor) and intake you mileage will drop and you should see a check engine light or pull new codes off the computer.

I can get high 200s to 300+ if its a long freeway trip so I can leave it in 5th and set the cruise control.
